THE ORENDA WITHIN

November 01, 2017

A woman, as Eleanor Roosevelt, the renowned politician, diplomat, activist, and the longest-serving First Lady of the US, outlined, is like a tea bag — you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. She was absolutely spot on, and rightly so... for more reasons than one.

Or, as Edna Gardner Whyte, the American aviator, observed, “Just watch, all of you men. I’ll show you what a woman can do… I’ll go across the country, I’ll race to the Moon… I’ll never look back.”

Here goes — my poem dedicated to women who feel rather low, or a tad desolate, at times, primarily because they believe, or are made to believe, that they're inferior.

It also lets everyone know what we, women, actually are — and, what kind of a dynamic orenda we possess.
